A fine of 1,000 has also been imposed on the convict Dildar Khan of Banur Mohalla, Saniawala, Mohali.

He had been caught with a countrymade pistol and two live cartridges from a naka at Ram Darbar Road on February 5, 2020.

During the trial, while the counsel for the accused argued that the complainant and investigating officer in the case were the same and the probe was conducted with bias, the prosecution examined six witnesses.
